Perfection in what you love to do

If you have a hobby that showcases your talent, you know that you are probably your biggest fan. I know that for me, I'm probably my biggest fan, but at the same time, I know I can do better. I'm always trying to perfect aspects of my art, to try and make it better, to try and be the best, even though I know that no one else is listening to my shit. But I find solace in practicing a new technique, or experimenting successfully with other beats. Today, I wrote a new rap verse, and instead of hitting the rhyme at the end of each even beat, I chose to hit the rhyme at the end of every odd beat, and it sounds different, but it gives the verse an interesting way to listen to it. I can honestly say that my versatility in rap is growing and I love this feeling.

 

Why am I even talking about this? I don't know. I have a double date tonight, and I'm trying to kill time before I leave.

 

[edit]

You know, recently, I was thinking about how what's the point in doing things if you're just going to die. Like why would want to put yourself into the trouble of being the best if you're gonna die and the probability of human extinction isn't really small. But now that I think about that is exactly the point. You want to be the best, you want to make the best out of what you have now. Because if you just gonna stress yourself out about the facts of life, then you ain't gonna do shit until you die. So you might as well try to do as many things before you die, and be good at it so you can have to something to show for it.

The edit about death is so random. But it's true, you might as well do everything before you die because it might just be your only chance to do it. What fun would life be if you knew what the meaning of life is.
